Manchester United has reportedly agreed to sign Sporting CP wonderkid Geovany Quenda for around £50 million in the summer, with Liverpool also having shown interest in the teenager.
However, Manchester City has not given up and is prepared to match United’s bid for Quenda.
United is also competing with Chelsea for Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and has joined the race for Chelsea academy star Josh Acheampong, who was previously linked with Real Madrid.
Liverpool looks set to beat Real Madrid to the signing of Ajax center-back Jorrel Hato, with manager Arne Slot personally reaching out to him.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United have all been given the chance to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface after his move to Al Nassr fell through.
Joao Felix, who reportedly regrets his move to Chelsea, has been offered to Barcelona on loan. Ollie Watkins, who is keen on a move to Arsenal, is being blocked by Aston Villa from leaving this month.
In case Mohamed Salah leaves Liverpool this summer, the club is targeting Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon.
Meanwhile, Liverpool has blocked Darwin Nunez from negotiating with Al Nassr to focus on a deal for Jhon Duran.
Tottenham is reportedly looking to hijack Aston Villa’s move for Chelsea’s Axel Disasi. Barcelona, meanwhile, is eyeing Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah and Athletic Club’s Nico Williams as transfer targets for next summer.
Finally, Chelsea has agreed to sell Cesare Casadei to Torino for €15 million (£12.5 million).
